[FAQ] Welcome to the Aquaria Newsgroups! 2006-03-01
Welcome to the Aquaria Newsgroups! 1. Copyright. The text for the Welcome (this posting), except for the copyright paragraph, was written by Mark Stone. The Aquaria FAQs were compiled and are maintained by Erik Olson. The articles incorporating the FAQs were written by: Shaji Bhaskar, Gary Bishop, George Booth, Rick Clark, Neil Frank, Bruce Hallman, Dean Hougen, Oleg Kiselev, Dustin Laurence, Matt McCabe, Davin Milun, Thomas Narten, Erik Olson, Jeff Pfohl, Howard Rebel, Mark A. Rosenstein, Thomas Sasala, Anne Hull Seales, Elaine Thompson, Betsy Wilson, Don Wilson and Todd Zebert. Erik Olson writes: The FAQs owe their existence to the contributors of the net, and as such it belongs to the readers of rec.aquaria and alt.aquaria. Articles with attributions are copyrighted by their original authors. Copies of the FAQs can be made freely, as long as it is distributed at no charge, and the disclaimers and the copyright notice are included. Much of the material for this new FAQ comes from the FAQ Working Group. We spent nearly a year initially putting this collection of documents together, and hope you find them useful in your aquaria endeavors. Since the FAQ is (we hope) an evolving document, we'd appreciate any and all suggestions for material we may have left out, factual changes, or just comments in general. We'd also appreciate volunteers to replace our burnt-out set of authors! Mail your comments or requests about the FAQs to faq at thekrib.com (please use this address for FAQ development-related topics only; pleas for help in diagnosing your sick fish will be cheerfully ignored or redirected to the newsgroups). Thank you. 2. What Are the Aquaria FAQs? FAQs are answers to the Frequently Asked Questions relating to knowledge of modern fishkeeping and general Newsgroup usage. We like to think that the Aquaria FAQs are especially important because we are in a hobby that deals with live animals, and as such it is imperative that information on fishkeeping be easily available and as accurate as modern findings dictate. So often people buy a new aquarium and a group of fishes before doing research into the hobby and finding out what is required to keep fish alive and healthy. Additionally, there has always been the notion afloat that they are just fish and it doesnt matter if they are unhealthy or die. It is the goal of the FAQs to dispel this notion and to make information relating to fishkeeping easily available and understandable, particularly to new fishkeeping hobbyists. People that are experienced aquarists will find a wealth of helpful information here, too! 3. Newsgroup Usage Included in the Aquaria FAQs is an extensive section on newsgroup usage, written by Todd Zebert. Here you will find information on etiquette, posting guidelines, and other helpful topics. It is very important to read this document before posting to the *.aquaria newsgroups! 4. Where are the FAQs located? In years past, the entire text of the FAQs was posted periodically to the aquaria newsgroups in addition to news.answers. However, for the purpose of brevity and for ease of use, it has been decided to post links to the websites containing the FAQs in the body of this introductory message instead of the FAQs themselves. The FAQs are located at: http://faq.thekrib.com http://www.actwin.com/fish/mirror/ A text version is available at: http://faq.thekrib.com/map.html Non-English Versions: Finnish: http://www.jmp.fi/~liaani/akvaario/aquafaq/ffaq.html French: http://www.cyberaqua.org/faq Spanish: http://faq.thekrib.com/es/ Portuguese: http://faq.thekrib.com/pt/ Italian: http://acquariofilia.hypermart.net Korean: http://www.insamo.pe.kr/faq 5.

"Nate" wrote in message ... -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The real koi-lo might want to download, install, learn how to use PGP, and digitally sign all his/her outgoing messages to protect his/her identity. ============== I couldn't figure out how to do that from the websites I found. I couldn't even understand what it is or what it does. How is it done using OE6? Is it free? No one I asked knew anything about PGP. No one I know (in real life) even uses Usenet. They don't know what Usenet is. Besides, I was told a few months ago that the trolls just copy & paste it into their own forgeries as most people don't know how to check anyway - heck, most people don't even know how to read a header. :-( If you have any information on PGP please share........ Nothing snipped since I don't know where you posted this from. -- Koi-Lo.... frugal ponding since 1995...

Koi-Lo, while I understand your reasons for responding to each post made by this troll, you should not quote the entire text of the original post each time. You are effectively doubling his efforts. It would be far better to quote only the first four or five words of the original post, followed by the same thing each time (exactly the same words, no variation, no matter what). There's no need to quote all the headers either; it's pretty obvious to anyone who's read half a dozen posts which ones are which. ======================= Thanks FishNoob. I can do that (I think I understand what you said). Unfortunately I have to include the whole header in case this ever goes to court (impersonation, harassment, intimidation etc).
